The Lage Mors neighbourhood
The Lage Mors neighbourhood is a mixed area with a strong urban feel. Around 4,400 people live here, with a high share of single-person households (49%) and a notable older population. One resident describes the area as "going downhill fast," noting that "nobody considers others anymore" and that maintenance by the municipality and of private gardens is "very poor."

For daily errands, the Jumbo supermarket is just around the corner, and there are several other options within a ten-minute walk. Primary schools are close by, with De Morskring and Basisschool Pacelli both a short stroll away.

Frequently asked questions
About Verbeekstraat 12D, Leiden
Is €1,675 a fair rent for this apartment?
The rent of €1,675 is above the average of €1,625 for rentals in Lage Mors, and well above the median of €1,475. However, the apartment is smaller than the neighbourhood average, so the price per square metre works out higher. Whether it is fair depends on what you value, but it is not a bargain compared with other listings in the area.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is C. This is an official registration, meaning the home meets a moderate standard of energy efficiency. With label C, you can expect reasonable but not minimal energy costs. The label does not say anything about the condition of the building itself, only about its energy performance.
How does the size of this apartment compare with others in the neighbourhood?
At 50 m², this apartment is 28% smaller than the average rental in Lage Mors, which is 69 m². That makes it a more compact option, which is reflected in the rent. If you are used to more space, this might feel snug, but for a single person or a couple it could be perfectly adequate.
What is the neighbourhood like according to residents?
Based on one review, the neighbourhood receives a score of 6 out of 10. The resident says it "used to be a very pleasant neighbourhood" but now feels that "nobody considers others anymore" and that maintenance by the municipality and of private gardens is "very poor."

The nearest supermarket, Jumbo, is about 800 metres away, which is a short walk. The closest primary school, De Morskring, is around 700 metres from the home. There are also several other supermarkets and schools within a couple of kilometres, so daily errands and school runs are manageable on foot or by bike.
Is the train station within walking distance?
